Book Synopsis Postcards from Greece by : Nemone Lethbridge
Download or read book Postcards from Greece written by Nemone Lethbridge and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems are intended to be read alongside the first part of my autobiography "Nemone". The first group were inspired by the years I spent on the Greek island of Mykonos, some of the happiest and most inspirational of my life. In 1961 when Jimmy, my husband, and I visited the island for the first time, it seemed totally unspoiled, a veritable earthly paradise. There were two boats a week to and from Piraeus: mass tourism was decades away. A few remarkable foreigners visited, scholars and archaeologists drawn to the neighboring archaic site of Delos, glitterati such as Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, Princess Margaret and Yehudi Menuhin who built a house there and later such slightly sinister figures as Roy Cohn. Things changed, and not for the better, with the arrival of a daily boat and later still the building of an airstrip. I've dealt briefly with the drug culture and general debauchery which followed. I have also touched on times of great happiness: Oxford and time spent in the English countryside: Denmark and then reflections on the troubled age in which we live. The last poem in the collection is my favorite and the most important to me. See what you think.

Download or read book Luxus written by Kenneth Lapatin and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to other histories of ancient art that typically privilege well-preserved works of ceramics or stone, Luxus offers an integrated contextual analysis of artifacts fashioned from a wide variety of luxury materials, which survive in far greater number than is typically supposed. These include gold and silver, semiprecious hard stones, and organic materials, such as ivory, fine woods, amber, pearl, coral, and textiles. Examining some of the finest surviving examples of ancient craftsmanship, renowned expert Kenneth Lapatin approaches objects in these diverse media from a variety of viewpoints, providing a valuable model for a more pluralistic approach to visual culture with the greater goal of reinvigorating the study of ancient art and society. As its title implies, Luxus is richly illustrated, containing over 200 images of superb works located in collections throughout the world. Each plate is accompanied by extensive documentation and discursive commentary. An introductory chapter explores the ideologies and uses of the luxury arts in ancient Greece and Rome, considers ancient debates about their value, and traces their decline in modern historiography. The book then goes on to address a broad range of luxury goods, such as intaglios, cameos, vessels, and statuettes, providing a full and multifaceted account of luxury in the ancient world.
Download or read book Postcards from Penguin written by Penguin and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box. In 1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station, looking for a good book for the journey to London. His disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived. Declaring that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive. Ever since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra. Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.

Download or read book Postcards from Africa written by and published by MFA Publications. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A close look at photographic postcards made in Africa in the first decades of the twentieth century reveals surprising images and tells their often-complicated stories. Photographers in Africa grasped the opportunity to serve a lucrative market for images of the continent, both locally and worldwide, during the global postcard craze that peaked around 1900 and continued for several decades. Their picture postcards now contribute to understanding political, social and cultural changes in Africa at the time, as the rise of the new medium coincided with the expansion and consolidation of colonial rule. They also provide a way to reconstruct the life and work of the photographers of European, African and other backgrounds who created these images - which often survive only in postcard form - and in some cases published them as well. The cards were produced for residents and travellers in Africa, as well as for buyers and collectors who had never set foot on the continent. Their depictions of colonial administrations, exploitation of resources and peoples, as well as images inscribing tribal identities and racial classifications, often reflect the colonizers' worldview. Yet it is also possible to recover the authorship of some of the African women and men who participated in these photographic encounters. For instance, some cards show that members of Africa's elites recognized the power of photographic images to enhance their standing and present their own narratives. Postcards from Africa reproduces a significant selection of these complex cards - the majority drawn from the extensive Leonard A. Lauder Postcard Archive at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston - accompanied by a leading scholar's exploration of the stories they tell.

Book excerpt: Ancient Greece is one of the most fascinating cultures of antiquity. It is supposed to have flourished under the Mediterranean sun about 2,500 years ago.Now what if you were told that Ancient Greece were not as ancient as conventional history claims it does?In a book that will make you travel both across the Med and through the centuries, you will learn that "Classical" Greece may have occurred less than a millennium ago, and that it was probably influenced by Vikings, Persians, Arabs and Mongols.Was Homer truly a member of the Saint Omer clan--Frankish knights who invaded Greece in the 13th century AD? Was the Parthenon built as late as the 14th century ? And was Plato truly Pletho, a 15th-century philosopher?Sylvain Tristan's subversive hypothesis will overturn what you think you knew about the "Ancient" World. Will you be bold enough to join the dizzying ride?
